Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Poland has been my eye Doctor for about 10 years ! He is the best Doctor to put your trust in . Every thing About him would be superior to any other eye Doctor .

EXCELLENT DOCTOR-AT EASE W/PROCEDURE
I felt assured that I would get the care I wanted. I did and more. My eyes a PERFECT, and the follow-up was also good. I was very apprehensive about some of the other doctors I had inquired about. He specializes in eye procedures other doctors do not address.

Every visit with Dr. Poland is thorough, and precise. I've been going to him for several years, and I've been very happy. I would not hesitate suggesting Dr. Poland to any new patient. It is good to have an eye doctor that can do surgery or detect any abnormality. Go to a pro !

Had cataract surgery on both eyes. Followed Dr eye drop instructions exactly as prescribed. This was 8 yrs ago. My eyes still see 20/20 and have had not one issue. I had chosen the option to see distance so I sometimes need to use reading glasses. I would advise anyone with a vision problem to see this Dr first before you make any decision with your eyes. The staff at the Lawrenceville location is above average. An abundance of experience at this practice.

I brought in a referral from my primary care doctor Ben Bobon on 6/8 after speaking to Lena earlier that morning. She told the paperwork was lacking information at which time i called the PC ofc and they faxed it over promptly. Lena told me she would contact me when received to schedule an appointment with you. June12, I've heard nothing. I go in and the receptionist tells me "you're not in our system". Requested the Mgr, who apologized and told they're short handed...internal problems not mine.

Dr. Poland performed my cataract surgery for both eyes. I have total confidence in him and he is the perfect example of how a health care provider should treat theri patients. His staff is also top shelf and every associate I had any interaction with was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Georgia Eye associates for complete eye care.
